我的心似乎从来都不能平静My heart never seems to be at peace Chú le fādòngjī de hōngmíng hé diànqì zhī yīn

北京 北京Beijing Beijing
Kāfēiguǎn yǔ guǎngchǎng yǒu sān gè jiēqū
咖啡馆与广场有三个街区The coffee house is three blocks away from the square Jiù xiàng níhóngdēng dào yuèliàng de jùlí
就像霓虹灯到月亮的距离just like the distance between the neon and the moon Rénmen zài zhèngzhā zhōng hùxiàng gàowèi hé yōngbào
人们在挣扎中互相告慰和拥抱In the midst of their struggles, people comfort and hug each other Xúnzhǎo zhe zhuīzhú zhe yǎnyǎn-yìxī de suìmèng
寻找着 追逐着 奄奄一息的碎梦Searching and chasing, grasping at shattered dreams
CHORUS
Rúguǒ yǒu yì tiān wǒ bù de bù líqù
如果有一天我不得不离去If one day I have to leave Wǒ xīwàng rén men bǎ wǒ mái zài zhèlǐ
我希望人们把我埋在这里I hope people will bury me here Zài zhè'ér wǒ néng gǎnjué dào wǒ de cúnzài
在这儿我能感觉到我的存在Here, I can feel my existence Zài zhè yǒu tài duō ràng wǒ juànliàn de dōngxī
在这有太多让我眷恋的东西Here, there are too many things that I long for
